The Asher Hipshot bridge (SBR-1), which now comes standard on the Electro HawaiianJr. model lap steel, is a vast improvement over the old bridge design. This bridge was designed to have a flat radius (no curvature), which improves overall sustain and provides an even tone across strings. Even if your playing doesn’t improve, upgrading to this bridge alone will not only keep the lap steel in tune longer, but also improve the sound. If you have a 2011 or older Electro Hawaiian Junior, you may want to consider upgrading the bridge.
